Winston Churchill told us, “There is nothing wrong with change if it is in the right direction.”  When our organization decided to change its everyday name to Trees SC, it was with the intent that the change would propel us in a direction where we saw need. We want to be more inclusive and welcoming to those outside the traditional arboricultural, landscape, design and planning disciplines. We want to encourage garden clubs, civic organizations, environmental groups and other energized community members to join us in our efforts in connecting people and trees. Our vibrant new logo depicts the direction we feel we should be heading. We want to be the advocate for the entire state of South Carolina, and we want to connect all of its people with its trees. We have always been about these things, but we will give this notion equal emphasis with the more detailed and technical aspects of arboriculture and community forestry. We’re not changing paths. We’re just broadening our path so that we can touch more South Carolinians along the way.
